A device connected directly into a water hose line serves to remove sediment, debris, and other impurities from the water flow. This ensures that the water dispensed is cleaner and less likely to clog or damage downstream equipment. A common example is its use between a garden hose and a pressure washer to protect the pressure washer’s pump mechanism.
The employment of such a filtration method is beneficial for protecting irrigation systems, pressure washers, and other water-using appliances from damage caused by particulate matter. Its use extends the lifespan of these devices and can improve their efficiency. Historically, rudimentary forms of this filtration have been used in agriculture and industry to safeguard equipment and improve water quality for various processes.
